The sledge that started a verbal transtasman war was a simple reminder of the rules of cricket.
As Mitchell Marsh walked off after being given out in controversial circumstances he yelled, "That's f***ing bullshit."
Grant Elliott, the New Zealand allrounder who had been taunted during his fighting 50 by theAustralians, replied: "So we're not playing caught and bowleds in this game then?"
That jibe got under the skin of out-of-form wicketkeeper Matthew Wade who called Elliott a "f***ing coward".
The incident occurred during a dramatic period in Monday's third one-day international in Hamilton, which saw Aussie all-rounder Mitchell Marsh controversially given out after a half-hearted appeal from the Black Caps.

Wade's pointed sledge is interesting given it was Elliott who was on the receiving end of some less than kind words during last year's World Cup final at the MCG. Elliott told Wade "love your work" before umpire Ian Gould attempted to intervene.
Australia's wicketkeeper in that game, the now-retired Brad Haddin, appeared to have some parting advice for Elliott after he was dismissed by James Faulkner.
The pair had earlier been seen sledging each other during Elliott's innings of The Aussies received some criticism for their aggression during the World Cup victory, a charge to which Haddin responded in an infamous early morning interview the next day where he said he was made to feel "uncomfortable" by how nice the Kiwi players were in their clash in Auckland during the group stage.
